Cold drawing is a bulk deformation process in which the diameter of the steel bar is reduced through plastic deformation. Drawing can be carried out to reduce the diameter or the wall thickness of the stock, or to improve the material’s surface quality, strength or dimensional tolerances. The bright steel products produced by cold drawing typically exhibit strain hardening. After drawing, the bars are straightened on straightening machines by subjecting them to multiple bending and reverse bending operations in the elastic-plastic range.
An extensive portfolio of rolled steel products
No matter whether our customers need a microalloyed steel, an engineering steel with added lead, or a lead-free, free-cutting steel designed for optimum machinability, Steeltec offers a wide range of rolled steel grades in a large range of sizes. This coupled with its ability to precisely modify and analyze the chemical composition of its steels, make it one of the key market players in the free-cutting steel segment. As Steeltec’s unalloyed steels are free from unwanted inclusions, these high-purity steels are ideal for the manufacture of pressure-resistant components. The lead-containing steels, in contrast, exhibit a homogeneous distribution of manganese sulfide inclusions, resulting in free-cutting steels with superb machining characteristics. On request, Steeltec can also supply rolled steel that can be machined directly. The company also offers an extensive portfolio of resulfurized steel grades, each with a carefully controlled sulfur content of at least 0.02 percent.
A flexible project partner delivering quality services on schedule in the rolled steel segment
An "off-the-shelf" steel is not always suitable for your own very specific requirements. That's why we understand service as more than just short response times and on-time delivery with short lead times: We respond flexibly to special customer requests. This is made possible by our alignment to a rolling plan, which makes us the ideal partner for project-related orders. At the same time, a consistent team of consultants in field and office sales as well as in engineering takes care of the intensive individual support in every project.
